Vintage - new or secondhand for a cool weekend look

This week we meet Kellie Andrews, sales assistant from American Apparel. Her weekend look has such an effortless feel but has combined new modern designs with a vintage feel.

1. Jeans

High-waist jeans, or “mom jeans” have made a big comeback. Refusing to be left in the 1980s, the shape is flattering on many different sizes. If you want the true

Saved by the Bell

look, go for authentic vintage Levi 501s. A safer bet are vintage inspired ones from American Apparel as they come in all sizes. Shotsy Vintage, Temple Bar, Dublin 2, €32, or American Apparel, €80.

2. Top

Plunging v-necklines are the cut of choice. Boob tape is now a girl’s best friend. One Boutique stocks a range of tops with unusual necklines. The prices are great and they are different from the usual styles. Matched with the vintage style jeans brings this look up to date. One Boutique UK, oneboutiqueuk.com, € 30.

3. Belt

A black leather belt is a wardrobe staple. The simple style of this River Island one is perfect as it goes with everything and can really tie a look together. Go simple and make sure it fits your waist and hips and you kill all the birds with one stone. River Island, €33.

4. Shoes

Fashion runners – never thought I’d see those two words in a sentence together. I don’t think I’ll be able to put on a pair of high heels again after this trend; I’ve signed up to a world of comfort and there is no going back. New Balance has a great, simple design with a huge range of colours. Size, Wicklow Street. Dublin 2, €80.
